Host of America Motor Lodge located at 200 Tunnel Rd. in Asheville,NC. The motel has been converted into low-income apartments under the name Asheville Terrace Public Housing. Note the 72 room property opened for business in April 1963. Two additions were completed in 1964 each of which added 20 units giving the motor lodge a total of 112 rooms. Note in the Summer of 1969 the property was rebranded as a Travelodge, however in 1973 the motel dropped the brand and was renamed Travel Inn. The Travel Inn name lasted until the late 1970's when the motel was renamed Bluegrass Inn. In 1980 the Bluegrass Inn was converted into its current use as apartment housing.
Note the pool was filled in and the rooms were enclosed when the motel was converted into apartments.

The Panathinaiko Stadium in Athens is the only major stadium in the world built entirely of white marble. In ancient times it was used to host the athletic portion of the Panathenaic Games in honour of the Goddess Athena. During classical times the stadium had wooden seating. It was remade in marble by the archon Lycurgus in 329 BC and was enlarged and renovated by Herodes Atticus in 140 AD, to a seated capacity of 50,000. The remnants of the ancient structure were excavated and refurbished for the revival of the Olympic Games. The stadium was refurbished a second time in 1895 for the 1896 Olympics.
The stadium was built long before dimensions for athletics venues were standardized and its track and layout follow the ancient hairpin-like model. It can seat about 80,000 spectators on 50 rows of marble steps.

Hanceville Fire & Rescue hosted a visit by the famous North Alabama traveling food merchant Swamp John – Saturday between 4 and 7 pm.
There was a steady line of vehicles (usually 3 to 4 deep) taking advantage of the drive-by pick-up service made available directly through the Fire Station. Also, many more area residents made there way into the main serving areas for sit down plates of fish, chicken, shrimp or combo plats.
According to Hanceville Fire Chief Rodger Green, it was a record turnout,
“We had close to 450 people come through during the 3 hours we were open. That is about 2 1/2 customers per minute. We never had a slow moment!
I really want to thank EVERYONE who came by to support us. All the funds we generated will go directly into supporting the citizens Hanceville and their public safety needs”
Plates were $11.00 each and included a drink and a dessert. There were several celebrity guests who attended including Cullman County Commission Chairman candidate Darrell Hicks, Noah Chappell of the American Red Cross, Fire Chief Maurice Reynolds (and his attractive bride) of Bethsadia Volunteer Fire Department and Hanceville City Councilman Charles Wilson.

The Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy was an association football competition that took place twice, in Turin, Italy, in 1909 and 1911. It is regarded as an early European trophy.
It is predated by the Torneo Internazionale Stampa Sportiva, which was hosted in 1908 in Turin, and the Football World Championship, which took place between 1887 and 1902. Also seen as an international competition, but with the noted lack of an England team, Lipton in partnership with the Italian royal family, wanted to go one further and make a more complete tournament. While the actual FIFA World Cup features international teams from around the world, the Lipton Cup, an invitational, only featured a few club sides from Europe.
Overview
Italy, Germany and Switzerland sent their most prestigious club sides to the competition, but The Football Association of England refused to be associated with it and declined the offer to send a team. Not wishing to have England unrepresented in the competition, Thomas Lipton invited West Auckland FC, an amateur side from County Durham and mostly made up of coal miners, to take part. The reason why this team was selected is unknown, although contemporary Italian reports of the team's achievements in the Northern League suggest confusion with the more successful Bishop Auckland. Reports that it was intended to send Woolwich Arsenal, but that West Auckland were invited instead as they shared the same initials, are unlikely to be true; Italian reporting shows they were expecting a team from the Northern League.
West Auckland won the tournament and returned to Italy in 1911 to defend their title. In this second competition, West Auckland beat the then amateur team Juventus 6–1 in the final, and were awarded the trophy outright. The development of football on other continents: Asia, Africa and the Americas was not very advanced and Europe was where the major football was happening.
In January 1994 the original trophy, which was being held in West Auckland Working Men's Club, was stolen. An exact replica of the original trophy was commissioned and is now held by West Auckland FC.

In popular culture

Tyne Tees Television produced a dramatisation of the story in 1982, The World Cup: A Captain's Tale.
West Auckland Town Football Club is a football club from West Auckland, near Bishop Auckland in County Durham, England, competing in the Northern League, in the ninth tier of the English football league system. The club is most famous for being the winners of the Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy, one of the world's first international footballing competitions, twice, in 1909 and 1911.
History
Early
The club was founded as "West Auckland F.C." in 1893, and initially played in the Wear Valley League (1896–1900), South Durham Alliance (1900–05) and Mid Durham League (1905–08). In 1908 they joined the Northern League.
Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy
The Trophy was initiated by businessman and sporting enthusiast Sir Thomas Lipton, who wished to see a competition between the leading football clubs of Europe. The football associations of Italy, Germany and Switzerland duly complied, but the Football Association of England refused to nominate a club. West Auckland, a lowly amateur side of coalminers from the Northern League were entered into the competition, although it has never been entirely clear why.
One plausible explanation for West Auckland's entry was that an employee of Sir Thomas Lipton's had contacts in the Northern League and put out an appeal for a team to take the English spot. An alternative explanation, popular in the town itself, is that Lipton had wanted to send Woolwich Arsenal to the Championship – an instruction to his secretary to "contact W.A." led to West Auckland being mistakenly contacted. However, a review of the facts casts doubt on this theory; at the time Woolwich Arsenal had only just been promoted from the Second Division and were not the famous club they are today, being relatively small and unsuccessful compared to many other Football League sides. In addition, there is no documentary evidence to suggest any sort of link between Sir Thomas Lipton and Woolwich Arsenal, so it is unclear why he would have chosen them ahead of any other English team. Indeed, recent research clearly shows evidence that West Auckland were the expected team.
West Auckland with the Thomas Lipton Cup won in 1909
West Auckland duly made the journey to Turin, where the first tournament was being held, many of the players paying out of their own pocket to do so. They beat Sportfreunde Stuttgart in the semi-finals 2–0; in the final, on 12 April 1909, West Auckland faced Swiss side FC Winterthur and beat them 2–0 as well to take the trophy.
Two years later, West Auckland returned, and after beating FC Zürich 2–0, they ran out 6–1 winners in the final over future Italian giants Juventus. By the rules of competition, they were awarded the trophy to keep in perpetuity.
Upon their return home, the club was forced to pawn the trophy to the landlady of the local hotel because of financial problems. It remained with her family until 1960 when a village appeal raised money to return the cup to the club. The cup was then stolen in 1994 and despite the best efforts of local police and a £2,000 reward it was never found. An exact replica of the cup can now be found in a secure cabinet in the West Auckland Working Men's Club.
The story of the club's first success was turned into a television movie in 1982 – The World Cup: A Captain's Tale, produced by Tyne Tees Television and starring Dennis Waterman.
History after
Debts forced the club to leave the Northern League in 1912 and fold, although in 1914 it was reconstituted as "West Auckland Town F.C.", which remains to this day. Although it has never quite reached the same heights it did at the start of the 20th century, it did win the Northern League in 1960 and 1961, and were FA Amateur Cup runners-up in 1961, losing to Walthamstow Avenue. They still remain rivals with Bishop Auckland to this day. Having been founded in 1889, the Northern League is the oldest surviving league after The Football League.
In the 1998–99 season West Auckland reached the first round proper of the F.A. Cup for the third time with an away tie against Yeovil Town. After a 2–2 draw at Yeovil and a 1–1 draw at West Auckland, a penalty shoot-out saw Yeovil through. David Bayles took charge in the summer of 2005 and led the side to 5th place in his first season (2005–06) and then 6th place in the following season. 2007–08 began with an FA Cup run that saw West within minutes of a place in the final qualifying round of the FA Cup before defeat in a replay to Bamber Bridge. After his shock resignation, Lee Ellison had a short lived spell as manager before Phil Owers took over and steadied the side and led them to escape the drop zone. Owers departed early in the 2008–09 season with Brian Fairhurst appointed as the new player-manager. However, after 10 games without a win, Ray Gowan came in but even he was unable to arrest the slide and promptly resigned at the end of the campaign. West Auckland were able to retain their First Division status, however, due to Sunderland Nissan folding. The club then received the news that, to celebrate their centenary of winning the Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy, Juventus had agreed to a re-match in Italy, which the Italian club's under-20 team won 7–1. Shortly afterwards Hartlepool legend Brian Honour was appointed the new manager in the hot seat.
Fairhurst and his successor Wilf Constantine struggled to get West back on track and both had short lived spells in charge. For the third season in a row, a new manager was appointed – Peter Dixon arrived on 7 December 2009, swapping a promotion push with Crook for a relegation battle. West finished the season in 16th place despite having a −41 goal difference and 5 points from 19 matches when Dixon took the reins.
In both 2011–12 and 2013–14 West Auckland reached the final of the FA Vase, held at Wembley Stadium. In 2012 they lost 2–0 against fellow Northern League side Dunston UTS and two years later, lost 1–0 to Sholing with a deflected goal separating the sides whilst Jonathan Gibson hit the post in stoppage time. After Dixon's departure a difficult spell followed with several managerial appointments being short lived. In 2017–18 Gary Forrest joined the club; in the 2018–19 season West Auckland reached the FA Vase quarter-final before losing to Chertsey Town.
